    Steak has great flavor but a little too tough for the price. Brussels and Crav fried rice excellent. So so wine list for a high end steakhouse.

    We had a party of 10 @ 8:30pm on a Saturday. I have never had such slow service at an up scale restaurant as we experienced. We were sat right away, all of the service staff were kind however it took around 20 minutes to get drinks, mine was forgotten so another 10 before I received it. At least 30 more minutes for apps, 20-25 for dinner. My steak was ordered medium & came with a cold red center. It was immediately taken to bring to proper temperature but another 15 minutes went by before receiving back. An order of mac n chz was forgotten & when brought was not baked like the other, looked like it was just microwaved. Dessert took around 20 minutes after ordering & the expresso martinis my daughter & her boyfriend ordered were also forgotten & brought only after we asked about them. On a $1000 tab the servers would have made well over the added 18% tip but with this experience we were not inclined to tip more. Not sure who was at fault for this service but the restaurant was not even full. The servers were all over the place, I’m not even sure we could pick them out if we saw them again. Sullivans you need to do better, we will not return after this experience.

    Terrible wine dinner! They didn’t prepare enough food for everybody. The wait staff spent most time hanging out with one of their friends at a table and not taking care of guests. Even the host said the dessert pairing was bad so drink the wine before eating the dessert. Unfortunately, I didn’t even get a dessert because they ran out and no one bothered to check on me until they delivered the $400 check that actually included a mandatory tip. Worst wine dinner I’ve ever attended.  Won’t be coming back here with so many other good steak restaurants in Raleigh that actually care about their guests.

    Wife and I splurged for our anniversary and dinner was well Worth it. Two delicious steaks cooked perfectly melted in our mouths with some leftovers for a hungry teenager left at home. Logan our waiter was very attentive and helpful, even chipping in a piece of cheesecake with strawberries for our anniversary dessert!

    Our food was mediocre at best. The potatoes were not hot and had a vinegar aftertaste. The steaks were overcooked and the brussels sprouts were chopped up like a salad. Terrible experience. Will not be back.

    Overall the experience was great. The device was good and attentive. The meals were prepared well, however, our steaks were a tad underdone. The atmosphere is louder than we expected as the restaurant was busy. So if you are looking for a quiet romantic spot like we were, Friday night at Sullivan’s is not ideal. Otherwise, it was a great time.

    Not busy at the time and was not even by the time we left, the server Donald said they had over cooked our steaks and it would be about 15 minutes to remake. 30 minutes later, food comes and my filet was already cut almost in half. My wife’s filet was great. When I went to start to eat more than half the filet was too tough to cut through with a steak knife. Donald was a good server, the issue was more the kitchen and management. We have been patrons of Sullivans a long time and this was by far the worst experience in this restaurant. Not much in the way of apology and what seems like a norm especially in the hospitality field, no manager ever came and asked about our experience. To serve premium cuts at premium prices, the service should match.

    We very much enjoyed our time at Sullivans and our wait staff was fantastic (shout out to Steven aka Magic Man). We did feel like our food came out warm as opposed to “hot” and I had the sea bass but it was a bit tough to cut in places and had a line of fat through it so that did effect the food rating I gave.

    In my reservation, I requested a table with a view for my finicky NYC family and was promptly seated next to the kitchen!? So we asked to be moved. The gentleman who led us to the table knew our reservation request so go figure. The waiter Brandon also knew our party had guests from NYC as he mentioned while introducing himself. So why the disconnect in our seating baffling as there were plenty of empty tables 🤔. So WHY would we be seated next to the kitchen? Brandon was excellent, as was everyones rib eyes and crab cakes! The cocktails (lemon drop , Hibiscus cosmopolitan and Margherita) were on point! Overall, nice experience.

    Thanks goodness I used up my last $150 of gift cards. I paid $91 for Special—-8 oz filet which was smaller than my two guests with 6 oz filets. Mine was some end cut falling apart. I would raise hell but I didn’t want to embarrass my granddaughter. Special = 1 awful steak $50, two under cooked scallops I discarded $25 and 4 asparagus $10 and $6 for hollandaise sauce only $91 ie everything al carte. Nothing Special about this offering. My wife discarded the lobster-shrimp bisque that was more like toilet water. $240 for 3 people with half of it discarded. Needless to say the worst meal I’ve experienced in years. I’LL NEVER EAT AT SULLIVAN’s AGAIN EVEN IF IT WERE FREE. Waitress barely topped the meal. Leaving on a positive Caesar Salad was good.

    We went there for my birthday as we have in years past. We were seated in one of the private rooms which was less crowded and noisy which was nice. The main dining room we really tight and full of guests- you could barely walk. We ordered the sure thing and got the cheese steak egg rolls. We’ve had these in the past and they weren’t nearly as good as they used to be. My steak was under cooked and when they brought it back it was charred and crunchy - not very good at all. I didn’t get a candle on my dessert or a happy birthday written on my plate as I did in years past and no photo to recall our trip (again they used to do this). We were also given a spoon to eat our pie with. I stole two fork off a nearby table because I didn’t feel like waiting to explain to the server we don’t eat pie with spoons. Overall the experience was just okay and not nearly worth the price we paid. In addition we were charged $15 for parking for 2 hours!! We’ll go some place else next year.

    We treated another group of friends and had a great time this time because of the following: 1. Our waitress Precious was superb - courteous, attentive, detail-minded, and very pleasant!! 2. Prix-fixe meals were excellent as always - filet and salmon. One guest ordered Chilean sea bass with salt-crusted baked potato. We also had my favorite broccoli with hollandaise sauce. All so delicious! 3. Fresh bread was brought out and very much enjoyed by every one! Two downsides to our almost perfect dining experience: 1. First was the tight table arrangement. One guest had a harder time going through the maze on the way out. I wish there was a clearer egress for patrons. 2. The noise level was simply too much, we cannot carry an enjoyable conversation as much as we wanted to. Wish Sullivan's will put some sound absorption panels so noise level can be more manageable. We did walk out feeling happier than arriving so that's good! :D

    Sullivan's is one of several high-end steak houses, but it has the advantage of being in the middle of town. Location Location Location. The food is quite good, however given the very high prices, expectations are appropriately very high as well. They do an admirable job of meeting those expectations, but it would not be fair to say that they exceed them. The dining room is quite busy, so the ambience is just ok. Additionally, the wait staff gets stretched kinda thin. In short, be prepared to spend a great deal of money for a good steak dinner.
